Park series hosts Deadwood Revival
Published 7:53 pm Wednesday, July 23, 2008
The Edmonds Arts Commission presents a free concert in the park performed by American Roots band Deadwood Revival on Sunday, July 27.
Port Angeles residents Kim Trenerry (guitar and vocals) and Jason Mogi (banjo and vocals) are at the heart of Deadwood Revival, performing foot-stomping hoe-downs, imaginative, cleverly arranged covers, and original tunes. Mogi’s mutli-instrument talent, including his percussive clawhammer banjo, a homemade “stomp board,” the clean, vintage sound of his 1959 Danelectro and his mean harmonica melds with Trenerry’s driving rhythm on acoustic guitar to create the musical backdrop for their powerhouse vocal harmonies that give Deadwood Revival its unique sound.
Deadwood Revival came onto the scene as a duo in early 2005 when Trenerry and Mogi, after years of co-fronting their own folk rock jam band, found a new love in old time Appalachian music.
Hundreds of concerts and festivals, four west coast tours, and two CDs later, the duo reconnected with long time friend, bassist Ches Ferguson and then met former “Looking Glass” fiddler, Julie Campbell, who now join the duo in their stage shows.
A self titled debut CD, “Deadwood Revival,” and their latest release, “This Old World,” have both received rave reviews and radio airplay across the U.S. and Canada.
Concerts are presented by the Edmonds Arts Commission on behalf of the Edmonds City Council and are accessible to persons with disabilities.
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. In the event of rain, the concert will be cancelled. The next Concert in the Park is Aug. 3 and features the Moodswings.
